<br><br>I am attaching the inittab on livecd, and both minicom settings I used on livecd and ubuntu are: /dev/ttyS0, 19200 N81, and no hardware flow control.<br><br>I noticed the inittab has 38400 for tty1-6, and 9600 for ttyS0, are these causing trouble?
<br><br>I also did what you suggested: using qemu to start livecd and using minicom on ubuntu to connect soekris, but didn't work out, seems to have same problem as before.<br><br>Should I try manual PXE boot guide:

long process though (starting from compiling kernels).<br><br>For those wanting to set up qemu with bridging mode but not sure how to, here is a list of what I did:<br><br>=====Install Voyage Linux on net4826=====<br> - I have ubuntu
6.06 and kernel 2.6.15-27-386 on host system with <a href="http://192.168.1.0" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.1.0</a> network<br> - mkdir ~/qemu; cd ~/qemu<br> - wget <a href="http://www.voyage.hk/download/ISO/voyage-current.iso" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.voyage.hk/download/ISO/voyage-current.iso
</a><br> - sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 bridge-utils minicom kernel-package<br> - cd /usr/src; sudo ln -s linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 linux<br> - cd ~/qemu; wget <a href="http://www.qemu.org/kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.qemu.org/kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz</a><br> - tar zxvf kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz; cd kqemu-1.3.0pre9; configure; make; sudo make install<br> - follow <a href="http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/%7Edjw/qemu.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~djw/qemu.html
</a>, ubuntu already has tun/tap configured<br> - I didn't bother with sudo setup<br> - in my case, I need to first run "sudo umount /dev/shm; sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=272m none /dev/shm"<br> - for running qemu, replace the script "-hda
win2k.img -boot c" with "-cdrom voyage-current.iso -boot d"<br> - now run the qemu script, login with root/voyage into voyage VM, the IP should be 192.168.1.X<br> - in voyage, /etc/init.d/voyage-pxe start 19200, you should get IP
<a href="http://192.168.1.200" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.1.200</a>, and you can ping it from ubuntu<br> - start minicom -s, select serial port setup, change serial device to /dev/ttyS0, Bps/Par/Bits to 19200 8N1, and set no hardware control
<br> - power up soekris 4826, hit ctrl-p and type boot f0<br> - 4826 correctly finds DHCP and TFTP, starts downloading, but then screen went messy, and frozen immediately after reboot<div><span class="e" id="q_1108ac94e6208fff_1">

Hi Jason,<br><br>I have tested option 3 for pxe-installing voyage to 4521 a fews ago, and<br>it works OK. I am still unsure why the console went crazy.<br><br>So I would need the following information:<br>1. the /etc/inittab in the live-cd
<br>2. the serial console setting in minicom. Can you also compare the<br>serial port setting of minicom in the live-cd and ubuntu?<br><br>These days I have been switching to pxe-install for new board<br>installation and testing instead of using the old
voyage.update way. I<br>didn't see this problem as I run the live cd in VMWare on windows and<br>use hyperterminal on windows to connect the board. I didn't try the<br>minicom in the live cd.<br><br>My suggested workaround is running the live cd under qemu on ubuntu and
<br>use the minicom in ubuntu to connect the board.<br><br>Anyone have the similar experience, or has successful story on<br>installing voyage on the live cd, please share with us. Thank you.<br><br>Regards,<br>Punky<br>
